Super nice painting! A very satisfying amount of detail. Subtleties are working in a very pleasing proportion. Good color and values. You have a good eye and really did get a lot out of that brush. Congrats!

Fantastic Painting
Wonderful! I wish that brush would work like that for me.

Oh God of homeless things, look down
And try to ease the way
Of all the little weary paws
That walk the world

truly a beatuful work you have shown all of us the potential of that brush and AR5 as well, thanks for sharing this with us.
I totally agree with your assessment of the square-canvas-2! I have posted about it several times on the forum.
The other thing I have done is to create at least 5 other square-canvas-2 brushes and set the grain amounts to 22%, 26%, 30%, 34%, 38%. Sometimes the default grain is to pronounced for an image and this is a great easy way to tone down that grain quickly.
